Fair assessment there ^ yes it not Silent hunter and it doesn't play like it. Its just different. Its got along way to go still, it still has many bugs, its needs more content, and it still needs to fully reconcile the two play styles its attempting to merge.
its NOT more or less of a sim or an arcade that SH - those are really crass and abstract terms that really don't mean anything - except highlight the preferences of the indervidual who is casting them.

The big difference though is this, The SH games were put out when considered complete and stable enough by the Publisher, they got 1 to 4 patches and that was that - no more.
But with Uboat, we have an early access period were devs are reading and responding to feedback, patching almost daily sometimes. incorporating requested features where its doable or practical. Those who stick with it and put the time in, will help influence the games future.

So many passionate Uboat and B.O.A/WW2 fanatics have already been helping to push the game towards better historical accuracy, in many ways.
I've personally been modelling Coastal Command Aircraft for the team which they can use in game. and also providing as much data & research as possible. They are just a 3 man team and appreciate all the support they can get.
And man, they are dedicated, I've been in email communication with one dev and he was even going as far as thinking into the technical possibillity of being able to dynamically cut though subnets with bow mounted net cutters.

On top of that, Modding SDK will be released in Summer, No messing about with Gr2 files and all that.

People have every right to shoot it down at this stage and declare that its simply not for them, but they could also be missing out an opportunity they may not get again.

Controversially, I must admit I'm actually quite saddened at the extent that many people on subsim have turned their nose up at it with out even really giving it a shot. I get the strong impression that to be apart of Uboats community, the Uboat Steam Forum and official discord is really the established place to be now.
the sub forum here is sat way down the main page. and its been pretty low energy.
I hope this has not clouded Deep Water Studios view of the Subsim community too much. That would be a shame.
Maybe Wolfpack just stole its thunder over here, I don't know.... But I hope it will improve over time.

I don't know if it worth Asking Neal to move thsi forum up next to wolf pack on the main forum page. Because I don't know if it needs to more traffic to be moved up, or needs to be moved up to get more traffic. lol
